At the moment this is not even possible with BMW Individual in Europe. But I guess Individual interiour colours will be available relatively soon - in Europe that is.

That's sad--I love that color. BMW's best blue ever.

I would urge anyone who is considering fox red to have a look at it before specifying. I have seen it in person and I really don't like it. I used to have carbon black / imola red and it was great, but fox red is more orange than red to me.

jerez / black for me!

the estoril looks so good...too bad

adamr · 09-08-2007, 08:07 AM

Well, technically white and black are achromatics (have no hue), not colors, so you post is OT!

esquire · 09-09-2007, 04:46 AM

i haven't voted yet, namely because i'm stilll trying to decide between alpine white and jerez black as far as exterior colors go, and between black and fox red as far as interior colors go.... which boils down to 4 combinations in sum.

what did surprise me though is how few people voted for what i thought would be bread & butter type combinations, like white on black, and black on black. interesting.

Jerez turned out to be a really popular color--maybe because of the recent large clear pics that were posted. I have a silver/black car now, and the black interior needs to change for me--especially if I order Jerez.

I find it interesting how unpopular Melbourne Red seems to be. I agree that this color of red is simply not great on this car. I don't even like Melbourne as much as the current Crimson Red found on the regular 3 series. In fact it reminds me of last year's 3 series' Electric Red which seems similarly unloved as reds go.

I'll bet Imola would look good. It would also be interesting to see the darker BMW red's on this car like Barbera and Indianapolis. I think Barbera would actually look really good too.

Barbera is a nice color IRL, surprised it isn't more popular. I think it would look classy on the E90.

Yeah, I am also surprised to see the lack of interest in the red. Maybe people will think differently of it when they see it in person...

Melbourne Red is actually a very impressive colour in real life; very surprising after virtually ALL initial magazine photos.

Still, I am waiting for Jerez Black, Black Leather (not extended) and Black CF Leather Interior Trim.

The CSL · 09-09-2007, 01:14 PM

In person, it's a very nice red indeed.

dab33d · 09-09-2007, 05:57 PM

dang it.. so saddleback brown is not an option here in the US huh.. .i guess aw/ with fox red then.

WenHan · 09-09-2007, 07:24 PM

Alpine White with Black interior. Art of purity and perfection.

that combination is a serious contender as far as my choices go. but i already have the 335i in this combo, and part of me wants something fresh.

the_stranger · 09-10-2007, 10:03 AM

I am confused between Jerez/Black and Jerez/FoxRed. Still have a lot of time to decide. Does anyone have gud pix of Fox red interiors? or anyone seen it outside?
